I feel guilty this time about not breast feeding and spent many a night in tears about it - but I know that bottle feeding is best for my family.
I do feel really bunged up at the minute though!
yay for first time managed to log in from my phone you might be hearing more from me!
Guppy i hear ya. Was convinced my body was a failure esp as induced ten days over last time... But i did go on my own this time eleven days late. Hang in there
Carolyn HV very good. She's making me an appt with GP so i won't have the awkward start of conversation... She'll know why I'm there. Scared a the thought of medication though.
Also soul searching about the Breastfeeding. It's killing me emotionally even though it's physically not too bad. HV pretty much said she thought i should stop for my own 'health'. Was quite taken aback she wasn't more pushing me to stick with it...
feel so all over the place. I want someone to take decision out of my hands . Trying to remind myself bottle feeding won't necessarily fix all the 'problems'. This aside from the fact that B won't take bottle at the moment anyway!
good news is she's got 8oz on in 8 days finally got her birth weight backbad news is I'm gaining faster. My clothes after getting slightly looser are getting tighter again
please excuse random typos that'll be predictive text!
xxLucy so nice to hear from you!
Carolyn glad your boob seems better - thats a sentence I'd never thought I'd say to someone!!
Glad you enjoyed your hols Mercy know what you mean about nothing being better than your own home!
Labour dust to you overdue mums...you're still August babies though x Danielle definately ring the midwife if you're concerned!
AFM just cleaned and tidied the whole house and now officially shattered! Just need to mop kitchen floor and sort Jacob's splat room out but that can wait while I rest and have a brew! Bit nervous about getting weighed tonight...is that sad?!

Lucy Sharing the load definately makes life easier. Before I had Jacob I was quite narrow minded and could never understand why mums didn't breast feed, I struggled so much at first with him. Eventually we cracked it but when he was about 16 weeks I'd started to resent Kev. He could go to bed when he wanted, cos even though he would get up most of the time with me and make me a brew in the night I just wanted ONE night without having to get up or having to spend all week expressing for it! He could go to football without a seconds thought about feeding him etc... It was only when I went to rounders one night in a real sulk knowing that I was sacrificing a night out on the Friday (only enough expressed frozen for it) that he gave him some cartoned sma milk. I was soo angry at the time but then when he slept through the night (was the first time) felt like big weight was lifted!! You have to do right by you and your family!!
I lost 3lb at weight watchers...I'm not sure how I feel about it to be honest. I'm trying to be positive, but I know I'm really impatient and expected to lose half a stone a week
Hope the rest of you August mums to be are off having babies x
I just expected that with chasing after the kids and booby feeding the weight would just fall off.... if i should be so lucky!! be proud of your 3lbs!! xxxyay for first time managed to log in from my phone you might be hearing more from me!

Me and a friend having been weighing ourselves every sat night and ive lost jack s**t.
Do you have a doppler? if not keep an eye on movements...poss right them down then give MW a ring? cant hurt! when is your next mw app? xxI had an avent manual one first time round and it worked a treat but i got so angry and frustrated with the same one second time round that i broke it lol... i hired an electric one from my local hospital and its fab!!
My movements didnt really change with either DD but i have heard people say that they dont feel a lot of movements towards the end just because there isnt a lot of room...
he's having abit of a wriggle now...after eating a value pack of skittle's, but still nothing the same :/ still might give Mw a ring for abit of reassurance. I see MW on wed's next, I saw her wed's that had just gone and she said aslong as i'm getting 10 in 12hour's everything should be fine, and his heartbeat was fine the other day aswel...he's probs ran out of room or being lazy xI had an avent manual one first time round and it worked a treat but i got so angry and frustrated with the same one second time round that i broke it lol... i hired an electric one from my local hospital and its fab!!

I selt my doppler, OH's told me to ring MW and if she tells me to go get checked out, he'll come home from work to take me seeing as he sneaked of to work with the car!!
I can feel movement it's just not like it used to be
also found he did a job lot of movements then went quiet - apparently theyre sleeping in there when theyre quiet ;cloud9: call mw if you are worried though as she will b4e able to put ur mind at rest. how over are you?
thought i would share a pic of my beautiful girls.....
